Birkin — Restaurant in Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

I have to admit they prepare nice coffee, but the attention is really bad and the staff is rude to say the least. Yesterday I was there with a friend and it took ten minutes for someone to approach us. When I told her we already knew what we wanted, she throwed the menu on the counter and said she’d be right back. Ten more minutes later another person took the order. When I finally got my latte it was barely warm. And them the best part of the journey: when I told the waitress my coffee was not hot she answered “I will warm it for you, but the next time please let us know in advance you want your latte hot because this is the way we serve it”.

Ask how to spell such a simple word! For that $3000 ARS brekkie, try other...

Birkin is a lovely cafe. There is a solid variety of bakery treats, including very typically Argentinian shortbread and dulce de leche alfajores, a great key like pie, and croissants. The coffee is also very good. Birkin has a very family-oriented atmosphere and nice decor with plenty of plants that give the place a natural vibe. The service staff could be a bit more attentive to the needs of customers, though. We had to flag them down to receive service. They also forgot our sugar and brought us the wrong pie (we had asked for a pie with pistachio crumbles on the top, but we just kept the key lime pie which was brought out). Overall, it was a nice choice for a calm and tasty...
